2.484: Narrated Jarir bin `Abdullah , I gave the pledge of
allegiance to the Prophet for offering prayer perfectly,
giving Zakat, and giving good advice to every Muslim.
2.485:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "(On the Day of
Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best
state of health they have ever had (in the world), and if he
had not paid their Zakat (in the world) then they would tread
him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their
owner in the best state of health they have ever had in the
world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would
tread him with their hooves and would butt him with their
horns." The Prophet added, "One of their rights is that they
should be milked while water is kept in front of them." The
Prophet added, "I do not want anyone of you to come to me on
the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that
will be bleating. Such a person will (then) say, 'O Muhammad!
(please intercede for me,) I will say to him. 'I can't help
you, for I conveyed Allah's Message to you.' Similarly, I do
not want anyone of you to come to me carrying over his neck a
camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say "O
Muhammad! (please intercede for me)." I will say to him, "I
can't help you for I conveyed Allah's message to you."
2.486:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever is made
wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth,
then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a
baldheaded poisonous male snake with two black spots over the
eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and
say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.' " Then the
Prophet recited the holy verses:−− 'Let not those who withhold
. . .' (to the end of the verse). (3.180).
2.487:
Narrated Abu Sa`id: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "No Zakat
is due on property mounting to less than five Uqiyas (of
silver), and no Zakat is due on less than five camels, and
there is no Zakat on less than five Wasqs." (A Wasqs equals 60
Sa's) & (1 Sa=3 K gms App.)
2.488:
Narrated Zaid bin Wahab: I passed by a place called Ar−Rabadha
and by chance I met Abu Dhar and asked him, "What has brought
you to this place?" He said, "I was in Sham and differed with
Muawiya on the meaning of (the following verses of the
Qur'an): 'They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not
in the way of Allah.' (9.34). Muawiya said, 'This verse is
revealed regarding the people of the scriptures." I said, It
was revealed regarding us and also the people of the
scriptures." So we had a quarrel and Mu'awiya sent a complaint
against me to `Uthman. `Uthman wrote to me to come to Medina,
and I came to Medina. Many people came to me as if they had
not seen me before. So I told this to `Uthman who said to me,
"You may depart and live nearby if you wish." That was the
reason for my being here for even if an Ethiopian had been
nominated as my ruler, I would have obeyed him .
2.489:
Narrated Al−Ahnaf bin Qais: While I was sitting with some
people from Quraish, a man with very rough hair, clothes, and
appearance came and stood in front of us, greeted us and said,
"Inform those who hoard wealth, that a stone will be heated in
the Hell−fire and will be put on the nipples of their breasts
till it comes out from the bones of their shoulders and then
put on the bones of their shoulders till it comes through the
nipples of their breasts the stone will be moving and
hitting." After saying that, the person retreated and sat by
the side of the pillar, I followed him and sat beside him, and
I did not know who he was. I said to him, "I think the people
disliked what you had said." He said, "These people do not
understand anything, although my friend told me." I asked,
"Who is your friend?" He said, "The Prophet said (to me), 'O
Abu Dhar! Do you see the mountain of Uhud?' And on that I (Abu
Dhar) started looking towards the sun to judge how much
remained of the day as I thought that Allah's Apostle wanted
to send me to do something for him and I said, 'Yes!' He said,
'I do not love to have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud
unless I spend it all (in Allah's cause) except three Dinars
(pounds). These people do not understand and collect worldly
wealth. No, by Allah, Neither I ask them for worldly benefits
nor am I in need of their religious advice till I meet Allah,
The Honorable, The Majestic." '
2.490:
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: I heard the Prophet saying, "There is no
envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and
he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has
given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his
decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others."
2.491:
Narrated Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, "If one give in
charity what equals one date−fruit from the honestly earned
money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money −−Allah
takes it in His right (hand) and then enlarges its reward for
that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his
baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain
2.492:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab : I heard the Prophet saying, "O
people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a
person will wander about with his object of charity and will
not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will be requested
to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would
have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
2.493:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Day of
Judgment) will not be established till your wealth increases
so much so that one will be worried, for no one will accept
his Zakat and the person to whom he will give it will reply,
'I am not in need of it.' "
2.494:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: While I was sitting with Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them
complained about his poverty and the other complained about
the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Apostle said, "As regards
stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a
caravan will go to Mecca (from Medina) without any guard. And
regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of
charity and will not find anybody to accept it And (no doubt)
each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be
neither a curtain nor an interpreter between him and Allah,
and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will
reply in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't send
a messenger to you?' And again that person will reply in the
affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see
nothing but Hell−fire, and then he will look to his left and
will see nothing but Hell−fire. And so, any (each one) of you
should save himself from the fire even by giving half of a
date−fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a hall
date−fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good
pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No. 793 Vol. 4).
2.495:
Narrated Abu Musa: Thy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "A time will
come upon the people when a person will wander about with gold
as Zakat and will not find anybody to accept it, and one man
will be seen followed by forty women to be their guardian
because of scarcity of men and great number of women. "
2.496:
Narrated Abu Mas`ud: When the verses of charity were revealed,
we used to work as porters. A man came and distributed objects
of charity in abundance. And they (the people) said, "He is
showing off." And another man came and gave a Sa (a small
measure of food grains); they said, "Allah is not in need of
this small amount of charity." And then the Divine Inspiration
came: "Those who criticize such of the believers who give in
charity voluntarily and those who could not find to give in
charity except what is available to them." (9.79).
2.497:
Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al−Ansar: Whenever Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) ordered us to give in charity, we used to go to the
market and work as porters and get a Mudd (a special measure
of grain) and then give it in charity. (Those were the days of
poverty) and today some of us have one hundred thousand.
2.498:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim heard the Prophet saying: "Save
yourself from Hell−fire even by giving half a date−fruit in
charity."
2.499:
Narrated Aisha:
A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking (for
some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date
which I gave to her and she divided it between her two
daughters, and did not eat anything herself, and then she got
up and went away. Then the Prophet came in and I informed him
about this story. He said, "Whoever is put to trial by these
daughters and he treats them generously (with benevolence)
then these daughters will act as a shield for him from
Hell−Fire." (See Hadith No. 24, Vol. 8).
2.500:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O
Allah's Apostle! Which charity is the most superior in
reward?" He replied, "The charity which you practice while you
are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to
become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching
death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so
much to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such
and such (as it is too late)."
2.501:
Narrated `Aisha:
Some of the wives of the Prophet asked him, "Who amongst us
will be the first to follow you (i.e. die after you)?" He
said, "Whoever has the longest hand." So they started
measuring their hands with a stick and Sauda's hand turned out
to be the longest. (When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all
in the caliphate of `Umar), we came to know that the long hand
was a symbol of practicing charity, so she was the first to
follow the Prophet and she used to love to practice charity.
(Sauda died later in the caliphate of Muawiya).
2.502:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "A man
said that he would give something in charity. He went out with
his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next
morning the people said that he had given his object of
charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All
the praises are for you. I will give alms again." And so he
again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an
adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his
alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, "O Allah! All
the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I
will give alms again." So he went out with his alms again and
(unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next
morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person.
He said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I had given
alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then
someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the
thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to
the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual
intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man
might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth
which Allah has given him, in Allah's cause."
2.503:
Narrated Ma'n bin Yazid: My grandfather, my father and I gave
the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle. The Prophet got
me engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the
Prophet with a complaint. My father Yazid had taken some gold
coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to
give them to the poor) But I went and took them and brought
them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did not
intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Allah's
Apostle . On that Allah's Apostle said, "O Yazid! You will be
rewarded for what you intended. O Man! Whatever you have taken
is yours."
2.504:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven
people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when
there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler;
(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of
Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his
childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque
(who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the
mosque); (4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's
sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only; (5) a man
who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an
illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of
Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his
left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e.
nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) a person
who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with
tears."
2.505:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab Al−Khuza`i: I heard the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) saying, "(O people!) Give in charity (for Allah's
cause) because a time will come when a person will carry his
object of charity from place to place (and he will not find
any person to take it) and any person whom he shall request to
take it, I will reply, 'If you had brought it yesterday I
would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
2.506:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "When a woman gives in charity some of
the foodstuff (which she has in her house) without spoiling
it, she will receive the reward for what she has spent, and
her husband will receive the reward because of his earning,
and the storekeeper will also have a reward similar to it. The
reward of one will not decrease the reward of the others . "
2.507:
Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The best
charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And
start giving first to your dependents."
2.508:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam The Prophet said, "The upper hand is
better than the lower hand (i.e. he who gives in charity is
better than him who takes it). One should start giving first
to his dependents. And the best object of charity is that
which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is
left after his expenses). And whoever abstains from asking
others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save
him from asking others, Allah will make him self−sufficient."
2.509:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) while he
was on the pulpit speaking about charity, to abstain from
asking others for some financial help and about begging
others, saying, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand.
The upper hand is that of the giver and the lower (hand) is
that of the beggar."
2.510:
Narrated `Uqba bin Al−Harith: Once the Prophet offered the
`Asr prayer and then hurriedly went to his house and returned
immediately. I (or somebody else) asked him (as to what was
the matter) and he said, "I left at home a piece of gold which
was from the charity and I disliked to let it remain a night
in my house, so I got it distributed . "
2.511:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet went out for the `Id prayer
on the `Id day and offered a two rak`at prayer; and he neither
offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards
the women along with Bilal. He preached them and ordered them
to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started
giving their forearm bangles and earrings.
2.512:
Narrated Abu Burda bin Abu Musa: that his father said,
"Whenever a beggar came to Allah's Apostle or he was asked for
something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and
recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and
Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's
tongue."
2.513:
Narrated Asma:
The Prophet said to me, "Do not withhold your money, (for if
you did so) Allah would withhold His blessings from you."
2.514:
Narrated `Abda:
The Prophet said, "Do not withhold your money by counting it
(i.e. hoarding it), (for if you did so), Allah would also
withhold His blessings from you."
2.515:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: that she had gone to the Prophet
and he said, "Do not shut your money bag; otherwise Allah too
will withhold His blessings from you. Spend (in Allah's Cause)
as much as you can afford. "
2.516:
Narrated Abu Wail: Hudhaifa said, "`Umar said, 'Who amongst
you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) about
afflictions'?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet had said it.'
`Umar said, 'No doubt, you are bold. How did he say it?' I
said, 'A man's afflictions (wrong deeds) concerning his wife,
children and neighbors are expiated by (his) prayers, charity,
and enjoining good.' (The sub−narrator Sulaiman added that he
said, 'The prayer, charity, enjoining good and forbidding
evil.') `Umar said, 'I did not mean that, but I ask about that
affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I
said, 'O chief of the believers! You need not be afraid of it
as there is a closed door between you and it.' He asked, 'Will
the door be broken or opened?' I replied, 'No, it will be
broken.' He said, 'Then, if it is broken, it will never be
closed again?' I replied, 'Yes.' " Then we were afraid to ask
what that door was, so we asked Masruq to inquire, and he
asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said, "The door was
`Umar. "We further asked Hudhaifa whether `Umar knew what that
door meant. Hudhaifa replied in the affirmative and added, "He
knew it as one knows that there will be a night before the
tomorrow morning."
2.517:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam: I said to Allah's Apostle, "Before
embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in
charity, slave−manumitting, and the keeping of good relations
with Kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for those deeds?" The
Prophet replied, "You became Muslim with all those good deeds
(Without losing their reward)."
2.518:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "When a woman gives in charity from her
husband's meals without wasting the property of her husband,
she will get a reward for it, and her husband too will get a
reward for what he earned and the storekeeper will have the
reward likewise."
2.519:
Narrated Abu Musa : The Prophet said, "An honest Muslim
storekeeper who carries out the orders of his master and pays
fully what he has been ordered to give with a good heart and
pays to that person to whom he was ordered to pay, is regarded
as one of the two charitable persons."
